Pragmatics is defined as being the study of the use of language. As a form of linguistics, pragmatics focuses on the context of the language versus the structure and how it contributes to its meaning.
The structure of language is composed of syntax, context, grammar, semantics, phonemes, morphemes, and pragmatics
Journal of Pragmatics was created in 1977.
Intercultural Pragmatics was created in 2004.

Semantics is how we say something. Pragmatics is how we do something.
The branches of the English language include phonetics (sounds), phonology (sound patterns), morphology (word structure), syntax (sentence structure), semantics (meaning), and pragmatics (language use in context).
Semantics and pragmatics both study the meaning of language. Semantics focuses on literal meaning, while pragmatics examines how meaning is influenced by context, intention, and speaker beliefs. In essence, semantics is concerned with what words and sentences mean, whereas pragmatics deals with how meaning is used in communication.

The key elements of languages include phonology (sounds), morphology (word structure), syntax (sentence structure), semantics (meaning), and pragmatics (language in context). These elements work together to form the rules and conventions that govern language use and communication.
